New underground ducting and cabling will also be fitted underground.

The project, which will cost £23,000, is expected to take five days to complete.
A temporary crossing will be in place while the existing signals are being changed.
The change is part of a countywide traffic signal replacement programme which involves updating traffic lights where necessary to ensure they continue to meet current standards.
